Amos 7:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 7:2

Vision of the Locusts

1 Thus the Lord God showed me: Behold, He formed locust swarms at the¹ beginning of the late crop; indeed it was the late crop after the king’s mowings.

2 And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said:
“O Lord God, forgive, I pray!
^aOh,¹ that Jacob may stand,
For he is small!”

3 So ^athe Lord relented concerning this.
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.

Vision of the Fire

4 Thus the Lord God showed me: Behold, the Lord God called¹ for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the² territory.

5 Then I said:
“O Lord God, cease, I pray!
^aOh, that Jacob may stand,
For he is small!”

6 So the Lord relented concerning this.
“This also shall not be,” said the Lord God.

Vision of the Plumb Line

7 Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.
